Hi I'm new here but my surgical date is Sept. 19th' date=' I'm excited and scared. I formally had a Lapband that was removed 5/11. So I don't want to be a repeat failure.

I think it is actually good that there are few of us in September we can share out post op experience :) and support each other.

Welcome Fran' date='

I think your feelings are pretty normal. The good thing is there a lot of people here who went from Lapband to Sleeve and have been very successful. I have the nervouse and scared feeling as well but also mixed with excitement. My surgery is Sept. 18th. Good luck on your journey.

Surgery date of 9/15 in Tijuana with Dr. Ramos-Kelly. Excited, nervous, scared...but I have to get through a big east coast camping trip with my family before I even get to think about my surgery trip. :)

I have started my liquid diet early and now i am constipated. Has this happened to anyone else with the preop diet? what are some good shakes and drinks. Protien powder that works well when mixed.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
